Technical
and Historical Notes
Another
product of Anaheim Electronics' "Silhouette Formula Project" launched in UC 0123, the RGM-111 Hardygun visually resembled
the F70 Cannon Gundam developed
by the Earth Federation Forces' Strategic Naval Research Institute.
In terms of design and performance, however, the Hardygun was
more of a cross between the RGM-109
Heavygun and the F71 G-Cannon.
Incorporating stolen SNRI technology, Anaheim built the Hardygun
with a high-output reactor to power its beam weapons and a hardpoint
system similar to that used on the Gundam
F90 series to more easily facilitate the changing of weapons
loadouts.
